Chapter 5
“I think we are seeing way less variety than we have been so far,” Super C commented the next morning, “so it really does show how big of a rut CNG was in. Trust me; suicide is not worth it. It is the most selfish thing one can do. Yet many have told me that if CNG had succeeded in making Earth the new Kriegland, people would be driven to the brink of suicide.”
“Let me rest assure you that we are all grateful that it didn’t succeed,” said one of the commanding officers that helped run things at West Point. “Do note that after this wave is finished, we’ll be presenting you with some of our own cadets in training here that went through the same thing. I’m amazed it didn’t get me.”
“It was the middle of 2022 when it ceased to exist,” Super C replied, “but there’s a chance it would have gotten to you eventually. Do you know why there was CNG on the premises?”
“No idea. It appeared on its own; nobody was smuggling it.”
“Huh; weird.” We took notes about that story, but that’s a story for another time.
75. Today’s documentation began with four human-sized field mice that all wore a red drum major uniform with gold highlights and a red shako with plume, and all four played a corps-style snare drum.
76. Four human-sized rats all wearing blue drum major uniforms with the shako and pants to match, and all four played the trumpet. The first rat ended up half-naked as a result of watching “The Adventures of Drummer Dog.”
77. Another human-sized mouse playing a corps-style snare drum, except he wore a green drum major uniform with gold highlights, and the pants to match. His green shako had a green plume and a gold treble clef on it.
78. Another gray rat that played the trumpet when marching, but he wore a purple drum major uniform with gold highlights, and a peaked cap.
79. Two tigers wearing a red drum major uniform with gold highlights, although the first one was originally half-naked. They had football snare drums.
NOTE: there were a good chunk of Drumbums that marched with these animals to help provide a balance of sound, since there were so many drummers.
80. Two lions wearing blue drum major uniforms, although one had the blue pants to match, while another wore white pants. They were both trumpeters. Each one was a first cousin to one of the tigers.
81. Two raccoons in red drum major uniforms with blue pants, each having red and white stripes in order to complete the trio of red, white, and blue. Each one had silver highlights, and the silver logo on their shakos was an exact replica of a superhero logo. This is because the drummers were playing superhero-themed music on the football field when the CNG got to them, due to the fact there were smugglers trying to rig the game in favor of the visiting team, since they held personal grudges on the referees. The logo, therefore, was a reminder of that.
The first raccoon had the Superman logo on his shako, while the second one had Batman’s logo.
82. Two beagles wearing blue drum major uniforms, although they had gray pants. The first one was half-naked originally. Both were trumpeters.
83. Then we had another big one, and this was the biggest one-day group any wave had experienced yet, so much so we announced it with a timpani fanfare. There were exactly 500 raccoons in this group, all currently serving in the U.S. Army. The way they were divided, however, was in groups of 125 each. While the first 375 all wore BDUs, the first 125 had peaked caps, while the other 250 all had garrison caps.
The last 125 wore formal black dress uniforms with the peaked cap.
This took the longest, so it ended up being the last group of the day; that way, the bands could play music for everybody. Later, the raccoons all marched around the parade ground with the cadets, with my fellow Hellcats and I providing the music.
These raccoons also had the proper footwear; not all the animals appeared barefoot.
84. The next morning, we had some more scouting troops to document, although we didn’t have family units here. They were, however, all raccoons, and as with the other scouting units, the scoutmasters were all adults, while the scouts obeying them were teens or younger. The first scoutmaster had only two scouts with him.
85. The second scoutmaster raccoon had three scouts following him.
86. The third scoutmaster raccoon had three scouts following him.
87. The fourth and final scoutmaster raccoon also had three scouts following him. The scoutmaster had been a military drummer himself, and incorporated his drumming into his role as a scoutmaster.
88. Two human-sized rats in green drum major uniforms with golden highlights, and a green plume to go with the green shako. They were both drummers who figured out how to play their concert snare drums when marching in the parade, since they could not afford marching drums at the time, coming from families who struggled just to live paycheck to paycheck. Having enrolled on the musical payroll system, however, doing their assignments would take a big financial burden off the families.
After showing them the superpowers that CNG gave them, each then played a solo on the military field drum that they summoned (while the concert snare drum magically disappeared and reappeared back at their homes, on the stands), and the second mouse took on the role of being that day’s drummer of honor. He then led the bands in a rousing rendition of “Semper Fidelis,” his favorite Sousa march.
89. Two human-sized mice wearing purple drum major uniforms with golden highlights, although there were no plumes; instead, each one wore a peaked cap. Each one played the trumpet, and each one was the younger brother to the drummers that became rats.
90. Three cougars were business suits and ties. They were all classically trained pianists who also played jazz, and each one got to show their skills after they were documented.
91. Four beagles wearing pinstripe suits and ties. They weren’t gangsters, however; they were, in fact, undercover police officers that helped bust a bunch of CNG smugglers back in the day (which is how they became beagles), and their method of doing so was very unorthodox. “I know our President and your top-ranking recruit (Leo the Patriotic Lion) wouldn’t approve of it,” said one beagle, “but the truth of the matter was that we busted the smugglers by pretending to the managers of a modern-day speakeasy, although that was just temporary. It did, however, re-create the experience, because while you had people drinking, everybody was in fancy dress, and there was jazz music on stage.”
“Such an idea would bother me,” said Super C, “but I must not judge you for that. I forbid my recruits from drinking as well as smoking, but if the point was you doing that to lure the smugglers into your trap, then your strategy worked. Is that joint still running, by the way?”
“No; it closed down. It’s now a Starbucks.”
“Just as addicting.”
Some laughter from the live audience occurred, although it was now a mix of the cadets at West Point and the general public, but not one of the cadets or their officers laughed. Super C had been struggling to keep himself from laughing at his own joke.
92. Four more beagles wearing business suit and ties, but like the cougars before them, they were classically trained pianists that also played jazz music. Each one got to perform for the masses, although the fourth pianist brought some of his friends to help him play the small jazz combo number he wanted to play. The beagle playing acoustic bass had been one of the undercover cops running the fake speakeasy.
93. A cheetah in a red drum major uniform with silver highlights. Watching “The Adventures of Drummer Dog” resulted in him being a half-naked cheetah originally, but as we did with the others, we gave him advice on how to cope with it. He also played the trumpet.
94. A grizzly bear in a blue drum major uniform with silver highlights, although he had gray pants with a blue stripe going down the pant legs. He played a football snare drum in the parade, although he usually marched in his college band with a bass drum. “They recommended I play the snare drum,” he said, “because they assumed that because I am at the level of the Forsythians according to what you told me, I was to be judged as if I was a Forsythian, and the snare drum was the drum beaten when one was judged.”
“The Forsythian bit is true,” said one of the C.I.D.F. soldiers, “but your music professors were wrong because the supernatural lied to them, and it knew it was lying. We are not necessarily requiring solos from you or anybody else. Everybody is just going ahead and playing something because of those assumptions. Be brave and march to your own drumbeat.”
“Yes, sir.” The bear exchanged salutes with us.
95. A cocker spaniel in a red drum major uniform with golden highlights that also ended up half-naked originally thanks to watching “The Adventures of Drummer Dog.” He was already playing both the drums and the trumpet, but in the parade we held, he was marching with his trumpet. He wore a peaked cap instead of a shako.
96. Another cocker spaniel wearing a blue drum major uniform with gold highlights, and the blue pants to match. He was strictly a percussionist, and he played a corps-style snare drum. He was the assigned roommate of the cocker spaniel playing the trumpet.
97. A rhinoceros wearing a business suit and tie. He worked as an IT consultant. “I didn’t know how you wanted everybody to dress,” he said, “so I thought I’d play it safe.”
The next few sets of documentations were a bit unusual, because they also illustrated how CNG would claim it was getting out of its rut, when in reality, it wasn’t out of the rut. Up until now, it was doing different types of animals, but doing different animals at different times. Here, it was doing multiple dog breeds at the same time, allegedly breaking out of its rut. Nevertheless, in reality, it wasn’t out of the rut, because it was still turning them into animals, and since all the ones in question were coincidentally percussionists in their high school marching bands, it made them animals.
CNG got stuck on the same dog breeds in these cases as well: the golden retriever, the yellow Labrador retriever, the chocolate Labrador retriever, and the black Labrador retriever. All the groups in question had been siblings as well, and revealed to us that in certain cases, there were more siblings, but they were not present.
Thus, we chose not to include them in our numbered lists, but made a separate group of lists of units here. All the dogs were playing football drums, and the dogs playing the snare drums had appointed section leaders of their bands by their directors and drum majors. The uniforms they wore were custom uniforms ordered from “Uniforms ‘R’ Us,” but based on the school colors of the schools they attended.
All the dogs normally wore black marching shoes, but here they were padding (barefoot) due to the fact they thought all the animals were going to pad. “Oops,” one said.
“No big deal,” we replied.
All units here experienced a transformation on the same day. In all cases, the smugglers were all disgruntled dads holding a grudge on the football referees for making calls against their offspring, but the kids all said the referee made the right calls, and admitted to their mistakes. All cases resulted in the away team winning the games, but even the players on the winning sides were asking what the dads were doing being such sore losers.
“Now I don’t even want to play college football, let alone go into the NFL,” one player had said to the press. “Yet Dad keeps pressuring me to do so. I think he wants something to brag about.”
Unit 1: The first trio of siblings consisted of one golden retriever, one yellow lab, and one black lab. They played a snare drum, the quads (tenor drums), and a bass drum, respectively. Their uniforms were black with gold highlights, although they wore white pants.
Unit 2: There were five siblings in this unit: two golden retrievers, one black lab, one chocolate lab, and one yellow lab. One of the golden retrievers was the drum major, while the other golden retriever played the snare drum, while the labs in the order I mentioned played the quads, bass drum, and cymbals, respectively. The dogs wore black uniforms with golden highlights, the black pants to match, and a peaked cap with a golden paw print as the logo. Yet the golden retriever playing the snare drum was instead wearing a yellow uniform with golden highlights, although parts were also black.
“Why the mismatch?” I asked.
“Our high school liked to have its section leaders stand out from the crowds by wearing the opposite color, so it’s not a mistake,” he explained. “I think this will change to everybody wearing the black ones next year, but it was an experiment, anyways. My parents did always advise me to be a leader and stand out from the crowds, but this was not the way I imagined it.”
“Well, you’re definitely doing that,” said Super C. “And we got the answers we wanted; this is not a typo or a glitch. The uniform company has had too many of those lately.”
“Oh, really? Why is that?”
“The tabloid terrorists you may have heard about keep attempting to send bugs and viruses into the computer systems so they can get them shut down.”
“Oh, dear.”
“But if you’re wearing yellow instead of black because the school said so, then the uniform company got it right.”
“That’s good to know.”
Unit 3: There were four siblings in this unit: one of each lab (black, chocolate, yellow) and a golden retriever. The order of instrument assignment here was the black lab playing the snare drum, the chocolate lab playing the quads, the golden retriever playing the bass drum, and the yellow lab crashing the cymbals. These dogs wore dark green uniforms with golden highlights, the pants to match, and dark green shakos with silver logos, and a green plume, with the logo being a roaring tiger, representing the mascot.
The chocolate lab, however, had a golden logo on his shako instead of a silver one. “Now that was a glitch,” we confirmed for him.
“I figured it was, but the color is still accurate,” he said. “Our school uses green, gold, and silver. Coincidentally, those were the colors of CNG that the angry dads brought to the game. Of course, I am sorry to report that they literally drowned to their deaths in all that wealth.”
“What happened to the money?” I asked.
“The police and C.I.D.F. units ruled that the school keep it after it safely went to the banks. It allowed them to make renovations and remodels to the school that were long overdue. It also added field lacrosse to our lineup of sports.”
“Interesting.”
This unit also revealed there were three more siblings not present, and they were all sisters to these brothers. Yet the girls had become mythical creatures for whatever reason: one was a dragon, one was a unicorn, and one was a winged lioness. “She says that CNG had wanted to make her a gryphon,” said the chocolate lab, “but changed its mind at the last minute. She can make her wings appear and disappear as needed as well.”
“That’s good,” we said. “She’s better off if she doesn’t risk attracting any attention.”
Unit 4: This unit was a mixed group of siblings to start with, illustrating how the one lesson CNG did learn was that girls can play percussion instruments, too, and that percussion was not created to be played only by men. (In its perfect world, only men would play percussion instruments.) The two male dogs were the black lab and the chocolate lab, playing the quads and snare drum, respectively, while the two female dogs were the golden retriever and the yellow lab, who played the cymbals and a bass drum, respectively. There were two more brothers not present, both of whom became ligers, and one other sister, who was now a different dog breed: a redbone coonhound.
This unit also wore black uniforms with gold highlights, but the gold was a darker shade of gold than the shade used on the other units. The logos on the peaked caps were two crossed swords, since the school’s nickname was “Golden Norsemen.” (The students in the art classes here enjoyed drawing Lennart the Viking Lion as a result.)
Unit 5: There were three brothers and a sister in this unit. The sister was the yellow lab, and she played the quads in this unit. The brothers were the golden retriever, playing snare drum, the chocolate lab, playing bass drum, and the black lab, playing quads. Although their uniforms were blue with golden highlights, they were actually based on the very famous design of uniforms worn by the NCAA’s best Division I marching band: the band of Ohio State University, and so the dogs had shirts and ties underneath the jackets.
The golden retriever also played snare drum in the famous unit of Drum Corps International (DCI) known as the Cavaliers.
Unit 6: There were only three siblings in this unit: a golden retriever, playing bass drum, a yellow lab, playing snare drum, and black lab, playing quads. Their absent sibling was still a human being, miraculously, but she played the clarinet.
These dogs had a more traditional design of the circus-style drum major uniform, using blue jackets with golden highlights, and their shakos had a golden treble clef as the logo, with a blue plume on top.
Unit 7: All the dogs in this unit were male dogs. The golden retriever played the quads, while there were two yellow labs, both of whom played the snare drum. The black lab played the bass drum. The unique case to this unit is that the fifth and final sibling did not turn into a chocolate lab until the next day, while the others became dogs on the same day. (The chocolate lab does play the cymbals.)
They also had blue uniforms, but the highlights were silver, and did not include epaulettes. They each had a peaked cap with a silver stripe going across the bottom, while the top part was the matching blue color.
Unit 8: The final unit again had the same breeds of dogs, and all male. For this lineup, the black lab played cymbals, while the chocolate lab played the snare drum. The golden retriever played the bass drum, and the yellow lab played the quads. This unit wore blue uniforms with golden highlights, although the pants were white with a blue stripe. The shakos had a gold star as the logo, and there were gold edges bordering the blue parts of the shako on the top and bottom, and a white plume was on top.
The two brothers not present had turned into a blue and green dragon, respectively, while the one and only sister of the group was a white tigress. The dragons, however, could not breathe fire. “They wouldn’t want to,” the golden retriever commented. “They hate fire hazards, and being dragons led them to worry they’d each become one.”
“Whenever they take their turn being documented,” said the C.I.D.F. soldiers in charge, “we’ll talk to them some more about it.”
“I have a recruit who calls himself the Dragon of Destiny,” Super C added. “He wasn’t happy about being a fire-breathing dragon, because he also has no reason to do that. He figured out how to cope with life, so your brothers can do the same thing.”
“Of course they can. Thanks, Super C.”
“No problem.”
We went ahead and called it a day, but we allowed the dogs to march with the cadets on their evening parade. To get a feel for how the superpowers given to the musicians worked, the dogs magically swapped out their football drums for military drums, so that the snare drum and tenor drum dogs were now playing military field drums, and the bass drum and cymbal dogs were playing military bass drums. They also mentioned to us and to the Cat that their high school trained them on the military field drums so that they could play fife and drum music at musters (outdoor performances).
“Then this will be a piece of cake for you,” said the Cat. “All together now!” And the drums began to beat.
The parade lasted until the end of the session, when retreat and tattoo (the military bugle call) were sounded, and the dogs were dismissed to return to the hotel they had been staying at for the night.

78. Another gray rat that played the trumpet when marching, but he wore a purple drum major uniform with gold highlights, and a peaked cap.
79. Two tigers wearing a red drum major uniform with gold highlights, although the first one was originally half-naked. They had football snare drums.
NOTE: there were a good chunk of Drumbums that marched with these animals to help provide a balance of sound, since there were so many drummers.

“That’s good to know.”
Unit 3: There were four siblings in this unit: one of each lab (black, chocolate, yellow) and a golden retriever. The order of instrument assignment here was the black lab playing the snare drum, the chocolate lab playing the quads, the golden retriever playing the bass drum, and the yellow lab crashing the cymbals. These dogs wore dark green uniforms with golden highlights, the pants to match, and dark green shakos with silver logos, and a green plume, with the logo being a roaring tiger, representing the mascot.
The chocolate lab, however, had a golden logo on his shako instead of a silver one. “Now that was a glitch,” we confirmed for him.
“I figured it was, but the color is still accurate,” he said. “Our school uses green, gold, and silver. Coincidentally, those were the colors of CNG that the angry dads brought to the game. Of course, I am sorry to report that they literally drowned to their deaths in all that wealth.”
“What happened to the money?” I asked.
“The police and C.I.D.F. units ruled that the school keep it after it safely went to the banks. It allowed them to make renovations and remodels to the school that were long overdue. It also added field lacrosse to our lineup of sports.”
“Interesting.”
This unit also revealed there were three more siblings not present, and they were all sisters to these brothers. Yet the girls had become mythical creatures for whatever reason: one was a dragon, one was a unicorn, and one was a winged lioness. “She says that CNG had wanted to make her a gryphon,” said the chocolate lab, “but changed its mind at the last minute. She can make her wings appear and disappear as needed as well.”
“That’s good,” we said. “She’s better off if she doesn’t risk attracting any attention.”
Unit 4: This unit was a mixed group of siblings to start with, illustrating how the one lesson CNG did learn was that girls can play percussion instruments, too, and that percussion was not created to be played only by men. (In its perfect world, only men would play percussion instruments.) The two male dogs were the black lab and the chocolate lab, playing the quads and snare drum, respectively, while the two female dogs were the golden retriever and the yellow lab, who played the cymbals and a bass drum, respectively. There were two more brothers not present, both of whom became ligers, and one other sister, who was now a different dog breed: a redbone coonhound.
This unit also wore black uniforms with gold highlights, but the gold was a darker shade of gold than the shade used on the other units. The logos on the peaked caps were two crossed swords, since the school’s nickname was “Golden Norsemen.” (The students in the art classes here enjoyed drawing Lennart the Viking Lion as a result.)
Unit 5: There were three brothers and a sister in this unit. The sister was the yellow lab, and she played the quads in this unit. The brothers were the golden retriever, playing snare drum, the chocolate lab, playing bass drum, and the black lab, playing quads. Although their uniforms were blue with golden highlights, they were actually based on the very famous design of uniforms worn by the NCAA’s best Division I marching band: the band of Ohio State University, and so the dogs had shirts and ties underneath the jackets.
The golden retriever also played snare drum in the famous unit of Drum Corps International (DCI) known as the Cavaliers.
Unit 6: There were only three siblings in this unit: a golden retriever, playing bass drum, a yellow lab, playing snare drum, and black lab, playing quads. Their absent sibling was still a human being, miraculously, but she played the clarinet.
These dogs had a more traditional design of the circus-style drum major uniform, using blue jackets with golden highlights, and their shakos had a golden treble clef as the logo, with a blue plume on top.
Unit 7: All the dogs in this unit were male dogs. The golden retriever played the quads, while there were two yellow labs, both of whom played the snare drum. The black lab played the bass drum. The unique case to this unit is that the fifth and final sibling did not turn into a chocolate lab until the next day, while the others became dogs on the same day. (The chocolate lab does play the cymbals.)
They also had blue uniforms, but the highlights were silver, and did not include epaulettes. They each had a peaked cap with a silver stripe going across the bottom, while the top part was the matching blue color.
Unit 8: The final unit again had the same breeds of dogs, and all male. For this lineup, the black lab played cymbals, while the chocolate lab played the snare drum. The golden retriever played the bass drum, and the yellow lab played the quads. This unit wore blue uniforms with golden highlights, although the pants were white with a blue stripe. The shakos had a gold star as the logo, and there were gold edges bordering the blue parts of the shako on the top and bottom, and a white plume was on top.
The two brothers not present had turned into a blue and green dragon, respectively, while the one and only sister of the group was a white tigress. The dragons, however, could not breathe fire. “They wouldn’t want to,” the golden retriever commented. “They hate fire hazards, and being dragons led them to worry they’d each become one.”
“Whenever they take their turn being documented,” said the C.I.D.F. soldiers in charge, “we’ll talk to them some more about it.”
“I have a recruit who calls himself the Dragon of Destiny,” Super C added. “He wasn’t happy about being a fire-breathing dragon, because he also has no reason to do that. He figured out how to cope with life, so your brothers can do the same thing.”
“Of course they can. Thanks, Super C.”
“No problem.”
We went ahead and called it a day, but we allowed the dogs to march with the cadets on their evening parade. To get a feel for how the superpowers given to the musicians worked, the dogs magically swapped out their football drums for military drums, so that the snare drum and tenor drum dogs were now playing military field drums, and the bass drum and cymbal dogs were playing military bass drums. They also mentioned to us and to the Cat that their high school trained them on the military field drums so that they could play fife and drum music at musters (outdoor performances).
“Then this will be a piece of cake for you,” said the Cat. “All together now!” And the drums began to beat.
The parade lasted until the end of the session, when retreat and tattoo (the military bugle call) were sounded, and the dogs were dismissed to return to the hotel they had been staying at for the night.
TO BE CONTINUED
A Fourth Wave of Transformations (Chapter 5)
Yet another sequel to my stories of C.I.D.F. documentation, which consists of the C.I.D.F. documenting every individual that was once a human being, but had been transformed into an anthro animal permanently from the CNG effects. The purpose is to figure out why CNG did this to the specific individual, and also to keep them safe from the forces of evil. It also will allow SuperCat to see if he has any potential new recruits in the G-52 Organization, since both organizations are sister organizations to one another. The story was based on my experience using Bing Image Creator, but FurAffinity doesn't allow AI-generated art. (Using it did help me somewhat because I cannot draw.)
